Hello guys, i found this very weird e-mail from the podsta e-mails with an attachment which isn't from the person who write the e-mail himself.
Georgetown Law Faculty and Staff,
My parents are visiting this weekend, and I need to sell my enormous collection of beanie babies! I've approximately 480 little creatures of joy, and I'm selling each one for $20.00. You must buy all 480, though. It is a collection (not an auction)... They are very respectful and amicable with one another, and they are (for the most part) cat and dog friendly. Some are sassier than others, naturally.
Please let me know! My parents can't find out.

So, this was the mail and just read it... whathefuck? It had an attachment containing this collection of beanie babies: see here.
I really didn't get the purpose of this e-mail and i started to search further and i found that the photo has been posted April 3, 2014 while the mail was sent on July 30, 2015
I found the photo on this website who posted it earlier (this was just a quick search, it's probably even older): see here.
Why would someone send such a weird e-mail and add a photo which isn't his?

One thing that I found hilarious but probably totally coincidential, I googled "pm932" to see if it was a username, https://espresso.com/products/pizzamaster-pm-932 it's actually a model of Pizza oven lol

That email has been going around everywhere. I think it was legitimate at first (someone trying to sell beanie babies) but it ended up just getting forwarded everywhere, probably because it was funny.
Someone posted it on Reddit a year ago
I know this because i searched this path yesterday and ended up there!

This is more convincing than any of the pizza emails. Seems like a someone got sloppy. I've been leading with this email when introducing folks to pizzagate because the pizza codes are used much more subtly. Old but gold.

What? They copied the entire email? I don't know what you're getting at.

Sorry for highjacking this thread, but could someone take a quick look at this and see if there is anything (you think) to it.
It's not so much the video, but the comments under the video on YT.

Sorry again.

I ran across that a while back. The wording at the end is rather strange.
Here's some links for him.

He spent a year at the Georgetown Law Criminal Justice Clinic, he oversaw the secure databases there. He left in October snd works at Pew Research now. Georgetown Law is quite close to Comet, IIRC and for what it's worth.

This is old but still very important and overlooked e-mail. You did well by bringing it back to the spotlight.

Was it also already known that the attachment wasn't his?

Well yeah. People said it was a random beanie baby pic you can find on the internet. Posted website like you did too.

I did a rough count -- I counted 40 on the top row, and 12 rows = 480... wasn't expecting my estimation to be spot on. Maybe that's all this guy did?
Either this guy did the same thing in an effort to make his story plausible, or these really are his beanie babies...
Can we determine for certain that this picture doesn't belong to this guy?

Yep thats not 480 there are more than that or maybe 1 or 2 less who knows but I got the same number as you and in auditing thats what we would call suspect. No way that its 480 spot on.

Dunno, i tried counting them and it looks like its impossible to count them from the picture. There is lots of overlaps, some are in the backgroud and you cant tell if there is a different beanie baby or if its a part of an existing one.

Yes you can, count the heads. I'll do it tomorrow if nobody else has by then.
